I'd be worried that destory the car ... those long 4th and 5th gear pulls can get up to some serious speeds! The only person doing that kind of foolishness in my car is going to be me.
22psi on GTX rods? what are they capable to?
i also believe im running a little lower compression than a stock gtx
GTR 323??? Nani? GTX was the AWD Turbo...you sure they aren't GTX? and lower compression? Like lower than 8 compression. Seems like you might be able to make more power out of the system if you were running a bit more compression and something like Water Injection.
the 323 gtr has a stonger block, better internals, different intake manifold and some other parts...
it was mazdas wrc car back in the day.. pretty badass car...
i have the rods out of a 323 gtr..

Given the tootpick size of the stock rods, and the abuse we put them through, any bigger rod is an upgrade. The GTX rods compared to Miata rods, courtesy of solomiata:

Keep in mind the GTR rods are much beefier still.
From Corksport:
"The J-Spec GT-R rods are from the Japanese market 323 GT-R built from 93-94 for WRC. The connecting rods are much stronger than the stock rod used in Mazda B series engines. The rods fit B6/BP engines. We have run over 30 psi on our Protege Drag car with these rods. The rods come with bolts and nuts and come in a set of 4. The rods will fit the B6 or BP engine."
